The need to regulate the crime of false statements stems from the importance of strengthening the national system of integrity and the fight against corruption. These conditions result from the Program of activity of the Government of the Republic of Moldova 2016-2018, from the Association Agreement of the Republic of Moldova – European Union, as well as from other commitments assumed by our country at the international level. Adjusting the legislation by introducing a new crime directly contributes to promoting the integrity package and aims to increase the efficiency and impact of the system of declaring assets and interests. Thus, through the analysis of the relevant judicial practice, we find important aspects related to the crime qualification, as well as the involvement of the National Integrity Authority in the process of detecting these crimes.
